Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls

I think I'm done with the whole car thing now. I've had some nice cars over the years as many of us have. I'm getting to a stage in life now where it's difficult to maintain them physically and too expensive to pay someone else to do it.

I do have an old Honda Xr600r from 1984 which I need to do ...

Frank's parts for sale.

All of these parts are brand new genuine Audi parts either sourced from Audi main dealer or Audi Tradition.

I am only really interested in UK buyers as international postage can be a pain but I may make exceptions.

All prices are what they cost me. I am not looking to make a profit or attach any ...

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls

Well folks, the decision has been made and the car is gone. Made a package deal with prestige for the car and a few spares I had and she was picked up last Monday.

I'm gonna look back at this in time as a very expensive failed experiment. I bought the car almost 9 years ago as a replacement for my ...

Curious, what is it that has caused this. Old crash damage?

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls

Well this was a little unexpected. I sent the pictures of the sump pan up to mackies just to see if they thought it was repairable, just to get a feel for it really. This was there reply.

Hello.

Sorry for the delay in replying, I have spoken with the transmission build manager and unfortunately ...

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls

Looks like bushings are still available but not something I'm gonna be able to do. It could of course just be the torque converter or oil pump bushes but it's a big risk to strip it down on the drive to find out it's something deeper. Car would then be completely immobile.

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls

Thanks once again for the quick reply MJ, really appreciate it.

I am familiar with the smell of burnt transmission fluid and what came out was fine. This just looks to me like too much bronze (if that's what the bushes are made from).

My biggest feer is that I caused this myself, maybe.

I am ...
